PARIS: Two car bombs killed at least 11 people and wounded 31 others on Wednesday in the Algerian town of Bouira, a day after a suicide bombing killed 43 people and wounded 45 others in a neighboring region, according to the Algerian Interior Ministry.
The bombs on Wednesday were aimed at the military command in Bouira and the nearby Hotel Sophie, the town's largest, witnesses told The Associated Press. The car bombs went off around 6 a.m. and appeared to be powerful, badly damaging the military compound and barracks in Bouira, about 60 miles southeast of Algiers. The bomb near the hotel exploded as a passenger bus drove by, according to the Algerian press agency APS.
